owlface   10 #1 Posted August 7, 2014 Hi I'm bit of a late starter at 50 and just got myself a bridge camera to try and be a bit more creative. Any help or hints would be welcome. Subject material would be almost anything interesting from animals to landscapes to urban. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Thanks Joy  I have been on this course and I have to say that it is well worth the money. If you are new to photography and would like to know how to use your camera instead of using the auto function. Then this could be for you and I would recommend this to anyone, especially those beginners like me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
stanedge   10 #5 Posted August 17, 2014 I've been on various courses, City and Guilds, one day Photoshop stuff and they are great for teaching you how to use the equipment and software.  I have learned more about image making from looking at the work of others, I find it impossible to go past a secondhand bookshop and occasionally find a photographic monograph for peanuts.  One of the great things about photography is that you can copy the ideas of others ..... but ..... you have to use your own source material so the images will be uniquely yours.  Cheers - Stan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
KatieSoze   10 #6 Posted August 18, 2014 Shoot what interests you, for me it's fashion, beauty and people. I didn't read any books, or get any tuition, I just figured it all out myself by never depending on auto. I write really simple blogs here's one about ISO http://www.katiesoze.com/understanding-iso/?bw Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
